In Texas Republican primaries on March 4, 2026, four-term Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost to challenger Steve Toth, while Rep. Tony Gonzales advanced to a May 26 runoff against gun influencer Brandon Herrera. Gonzales faces a new House ethics investigation over alleged sexual misconduct with a former staffer, highlighting GOP internal tensions.
California Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R), a longtime advocate for rural issues, died at age 65 following emergency surgery for an aortic aneurysm, his chief of staff announced early Tuesday. The loss tightens the House Republican majority at 219-213 and prompts a special election for his seat.
